Les Urselines cafe, thank you. After checking this restaurant and that on yelp and trip advisor, I decided on Les Urselines. Your standard French Everyman's cafe. Walking in and being greeted with a hearty bonjoir, returned, I explained that I spoke and understood very little French, with a little Google translate, learned that the owner who speaks English wasn't there and no one really spoke English though one of the servers said she knew a little. So we decided to give it a go. I tried my best with the little French I knew and she with English knowing only slightly more English than I did French. It was a game and we both enjoyed ourselves immensely.
Lunch at a Parisian cafe, can, at times, rival the best the U.S. has to offer. I got the pate to start which for $5 euro was better than $20 pate here in very fine restaurants. It was honest and unpretentious and tasted wonderful. The plate of sliced homemade soppressata sausage, gratis on the table, was divine. You could package them as upscale jerky and do quite well here. The entrecote au poivre was a nice little piece of meat and the chips were perfect. With a small beer, lunch was $15 euro.
The young server girl, the lunch, the weather. My faith restored.
